Good morning , Bob. I'm here to support you in the W Yorkie Derby. MOT!
A moment's silence on what looks on an unusually beautiful November day in Yorkshire.
COME ON YOU YELLOWS!
THey're off from the John Smith's Stadium!
Bellusci is called for climbing on Nahki Wells.
fortunately for Leeds, Wallace is called for offside on the free kick when the replays showed he was level.
Morning, MUR - thanks for joining me. Come on, you Whites!
Glad to join you .I'm here to support my good mate.
The team news for today's clash:
Huddersfield: Murphy, Davidson, Whitehead, Hudson, Cranie, Wallace, Bunn, Lolley, Wells, Dempsey, Billing. Subs: Steer, Smith, Vaughan, Carayol, Huws, Holmes, Bojaj.

Referee: Graham Scott
Steve Evans cutting a gigantic figure on the sideline. He needs your weight loss program, mate.
The FA Cup First Round starts this weekend and there has already been a giant killing as Salford defeated Notts County 2-0 yesterday
Agreed. Perhaps he requires a double program! Those lost pounds could be donated as points for Leeds sin the standings.
Naughty by Dean Whitehead on Antenucci
Liam was more than just a mini Copper a s he came in with a great block then Stuart Dallas concedes a corner to the Terriers.
Oh dear - now Wootton and Cooper have collided into each other as they lined up for the corner. What a calamity!
Hey Boys
I am here. I have the Southcoast match on the telly and SS on the computer. The first link I opened up was the Yorkshire derby... keep me informed on that match
An unusual event as two Leeds players collide while getting ready to defend a corner. It was Scott Wooton and Liam Copper with Copper still down. Bob is not amused.
We are off at Dean Court
Good morning UWS. We will. The W. Yorkie derby has temporarily been halted because two Leeds players collided into each other defending a corner and one is still down for the count.
LIam Cooper is the mini Cooper that is like my car. In the repair shop for weeks on end!
Looks like Cooper is down for the count. Sol Bamba will replace him after he's carted off the pitch on a stretcher.
Morning, UWS - how are you, mate?
Come on you WHITES.... well YELLOWS
COME ON YOU CHERRIES
I may miss some of this early match because of my 5 miler. Not sure when we are going to go
Decent effort by Bournemouth. Decent save
Corner to the Cherries.
Comes to nothing
Rob elliot pushes away a near post effor tfrom Josh King for A cherries corner.
A standing ovation from both sets of fans as Liam Copper is stretchered off and Sol Bamba is on.
Im doing well after a long week of school
Yourselves?
Looking forward to a short work week. We have Wednesday off for Veteran's Day and I am off Friday as well taking Kathy to a procedure. Three day week for me
It was a corner to Leeds and not the Terriers a, but it came to nothing/
I am doing well too. Tired after a busy week. I hope you enjoy the three day week and wish Kathy the best.
Silvestre smothers a decent looking attack for Hudders through Dempsey.
Not a good afternoon so far for Scott Wootton. Now he's picked up a yellow for a trademark ManYoo Academy challenge.
Scott Wooton receives the first card of the match that matches the color of his jersey, for a late challenge on Bunn
I'm doing well. I'm getting set for a conference trip to New Orleans in mid-week. Should be a good time.
Did you see the end of Real PSG match
Ronaldo whispered to Blanc
Apparently, he said that he loved the way they play and I would love to work for you
So Ronny off to Paree
He's showing why he SAF cut him loose. First , he knocked on a teammate faster than Mike Tyson then picks up the first booking of the match
Huddersfield have had the best of it so far.
I did not see the match , but heard that PSG were unlucky to lose. Interesting from Ronny, who seems to not want to work for Raffa.
I really want the Cherries to win this one
I thought they would be doing better
They have lost players thru injury
I want them to win by six and go above Chelsea
Win by five and have Chelsea lose would work too
Martin Cranie goes into the book for a cynical tug when we were on the break. This has been a really choppy first half with not a lot of good footer.
Agreed, Bob. Despite that, Silvestri has not been forced to mae a save, A little cagey.
I'm with you on that one - however, I do have the Cherries in the bottom three in my PPP.
He was down, but it was definitely a deserved booking.
I second that. I would like those two results, but also have the Cherries in the bottom three.
Stuart DAllas wins another Leeds corner.
The corner is cleared.
It's sunny in West Yorkshire, but dreary and rainy on the South Coast. Isn't it usually the other way around?
The Terriers win a corner off the throw from Billing that had top billing.
Silvestri is finally put to the test, stopping a shot by Bunn.
The Terriers take it short. and Wells puts Bunn through as Silevstri makes a comfortable save with Silvester like reflexes.
The Terriers are forced into a change as Billing is off injured and is replaced Huws. The 18 year old looked distraught while walking off.
Huddersfield make an early change - both sides have been forced to go to their benches early.
I'm thinking that any result from the match on the South Coast will work because I have picked both teams for the drop.
I'm glad to see the back of Billing - he looked a bit speedy.
Rob elliot makes another save for the Toon as the Cherries are denied again
Now there is another injury. At this rate, we'll never finish this first half. What an odd one.
I guess what you think that change had top billing!
Josh King with both chances for the Cherries and both were near post efforts. Junior Stanislaus played him through
First, I don't think the big news at OT was the crowd booing for taking off Martial...we all know LVG is being blackmailed by Rooney and he has to play. I know he scored the goal but he was still crap
The main thing I want LVG to pay attention is what the crowd sang during the second half
WE WANT TO ATTACK
WE WANT TO ATTACK
WE'RE MANCHESTER UNITED
WE WANT TO ATTACK
That says it all... but LVG just ignores 76,000 people and Paul Scholes and said
Sticks and Stones will break my bones but 'names' will never hurt me
What a numpty!
Scholes is 100% right.... United are boring
UWS would do well to do his five miler when United play the Baggies.Between Pubis and LVG we will be lucky to see any shots on target.
I agree with you 100% . You can yell ATTACK ATTACK during your five miler.
Dean Whitehead should be able to continue.
I am going to be a missing for a bit
I am off to walk Shadow and then probably my 5 miler... possibly on 3 today.... not sure
I'll be back
Mowatt was well wide with that snap shot, unlike the spectacular goal he scored on Tuesday
Off you go, mate - have a good walkies!
GOAL !!! AYOZE GIVES THE TOON THE LEAD AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY
Just before I leave... The Toon take the lead
Perez nets for Newcastle...they have been second best but are in the lead
Cheers mate. Enjoy the walkies and yell ATtACK ATTACK!
MOT!!!
The goal came off a long possession after winning the ball in their own half then all of a sudden Wijnaldum played through Ayoze and he shot past Federici, who got a hand to the shot , but couldn't prevent the goal.
It looks like eight minutes of stoppage time.
Sol Bamaba fouls Nahki Wells just outside the box and gets a card to match his jersey.
The free kick from Wells is over as they enter eight minutes of stoppage time.
Oh dear - Wootton is in trouble again. He's running away from the action hoping that the ref won't take any action. He seems to be getting a bollocking. He's really on thin ice and Evans should probably yank him at the interval.
Wooton with a nasty foul on Huws and will be fortunate not to get a second yellow. He escapes an early bath to the relief of Bob. Just a lecture as the Terriers players are none too pleased.
Agreed mate. He may put your side in trouble at the rate he's going.
Rob elliot with a great save from a header from Josh King off a Cherries corner. The y get a second bite at the cherry
WAY HAY ! STUART DALLAS GIVES LEEDS THE LEAD,
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSS!!!!!!!
Antenucci knocks home the opener!
Sorry . It was Antenucci with the goal. The Terriers will not be pleased as Wooton, who should have been sent off a minute earlier played a long ball to Stuart Dallas,. He played a one two with Chris Wood, then played a nice ball for Antenucci to ta in. Congrats mate
Terrific interplay between Dallas and Wood out wide right and then a peach of a cross from Dallas and Mirko knocked it home.
And now Wood has made it 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're romping it!
0-2 Leeds!
WAY HAY !!!! LEEDS GO TWO UP . A GREAT STOPPAGE TIME.
Stoppage time continues with Murphy now down for the count.
This is one of the longest first halfs that I can remember.
Luke Murphy is now down. The Terriers wanted offside on a Leeds counter, but MArk Hudson played hiom on as he was caught out . His cross was gifted by a Terriers defender to Chris Wood, who made no mistake from a yard out.
Agreed. It's been a marathon first half.
The Toon lead on the South Coast, but Toon keeper Rob Elliot, has been forced to make at least four spectacular saves to preserve that lead.
It's halftime and Leeds are two up. Congrats mate.
Finally the whistle blows in the 56th minute. And what a stoppage time it was, with two goals for us from Antenucci and Wood - our two strikers. I'm absolutely delighted with that one.
0-2 at the interval.
Almost halftime on the South Coast and Janmaat booked for an aggressive challenge. I think that was harsh as I agree with Clive Allen that the conditions played a part and Janmaat did get the ball.
Only a minute of stoppage time , which is in sharp contrast to the match in W Yorkshie. Tiote with a requisite booking for a foul on Stanislaus.
It's halftime on the South Coast as the Toon are one up despite total domination by the Cherries , who have forced Rob Elliot into four spectacular saves.
Stats can be misleading. The Toon are one up at the half, bu the Cherries have out shot the Toon 12-1 , with four of those shots on target. The Cherries have won nine corner to nil for the Toon. The Cherries need to put away some of those chances.
Looks like BEin have rehabilitated the sexist duo of Andy and Ole Hairy Hands for a new Friday evening show that I won't be bothering to DVR.
The second half is underway from W Yorkshire.
The deadly duo have been on BEIN for a while, but I will opt out of that show too.
Well wide by Lolly Pop as the Terriers attack from the off.
Great tackle from Bamba to stop that early Hudders attack.
Bright start for Hudders - we need to keep the foot on the gas.
Sol Bamba tackles Dawn Wells for a corner then Bunn , with a free header from the corner, heads well wide.
I am back from walkies with Shadow as the second half starts
Got updates from Fotmob that Leeds score two goals!!!
Harry Bunn shoots straight at Silvestre as the second half is underway from Dean Court.
Mowatt is down injured for Leeds.
The Terriers have a spot kick? That looked a fair tackle by Mowatt.
SS talking about boring United
Another spectacular save by Rob elliot from a header by Matt Ritchie from a great cross by Josh King.
Welcome back, UWS. Leeds did score twice in stoppage time and Leeds were fortunate not be a man down seconds before the first goal. Terriers players and fans were not pleased.
Big Nose says it matters if United win something but doing it boring... I agree with the scouse for the first time
Another wasted chance by the Cherries as Dan Gosling shoots well over from a great cross.
YESSS!!!!!!!!!!
What a strike from Alex Mowatt!!!!!
0-3!
WAY HAY! MOWATT PUTS LEEDS THREE UP.
Big Nose says that United are not going forward enough... agree with him 100%
I reckon that your United might just be able to respond to the fans challenge today against the Baggies.
Congrats Bob
Wish our United would score three!!
Mowatt emulates that strike against Evil Cardiff on Tuesday . The Terriers took a long throw in their own half that a Leeds player headed on and Mowatt score with a left footed screamer in the upper 90 from about 25- 30 yards out.
Merse says that today is a perfect chance to play one holding midfielder. Play D3.14... and go for it
I am agreeing with him too
Agreed. Congrats Bob. This could be Leeds's' best result in a while. Surely, celebrations are in order.
Merse has been spot on with his comments.
Like for like as James Vaughan , the Toffees reject, is on for Dawn Wells. He's hoping it's more than just a three hour cruise.
Leeds fans are in full voice with the famous MOT song.
18 year old Cameron Borthwick-Jackson in United's squad today
BIg Nose says that if Tom Daley(GB diver) plays... I mean Ashley Young
Boom boom
It gets worse for the Terriers as their keeper is now down injured.
The Beeb just said that the match at Huddersfield had a first half of 58 minutes!!!
Sorry. It's Wooton , who sheds blood for the cause and is off for treatment. He's been in the wars today
I fear for United today
WBA will sit back
United will not have any idea how to open them up
0-0 or an odd goal for either team
That's correct. It was a marathon first half. There was an eight minute stoppage then two other stoppages./
Oh - great stop from Silvestre to maintain the clean sheet.
I am off for our walkies
I'll be back to have a nap during the United match
Silvestri does well to save a snap shot from James Vaughan.
BOOM BOOM , UWS. Enjoy and then a well deserved nap for the match at OT. You probably won't miss anything.
Cheerio, mate - keep the faith with United, eh?
Before I go... all the panel and Jeff pick 1-0 to United
So sad but true
Leeds wins a corner. Murphy to take. Dallas wins another from the out swinger by Murphy.
Sounds about right. Enjoy the walkies.
Will 1-0 satisfy the OT crowd, though?
The Rome Derby is BEIN shown tomorrow. Bob , A Napoli Boy, may not be too fussed about it.
Bob will be pleased as Mitrovic is off for Cisse.
Wahay! Bournemouth in the bottom three, finally. That'll help my PPP score.
I will not be satisfied. Like , UWS. I want United to play entertaining football, not grind out results against mediocre sides.
Mitrovic has, at least, been behaving himself recently. But he is a chippy little sod.
I don't think it makes a difference for me since that means one of my bottom three picks replaces another. I may gain a point .
He has and was involved in the build up to the goal. He's been in decent form/.
Nice save by Silvestri from Lolly Pop.
Whitehead with a long range screamer, but unlike Mowatt, cannot keep his shot on target.
That third goal has knocked the stuffing out of this one. Blow up, ref - it's all over!
A cl;ever move by Steve Evans as Wooton, who was fortunate not to get an early bath , is replaced by Tom Adeyemi, on loan from evil Cardiff. The Terriers counter by bringing on Duane Holmes for Joe Lolley Pop.
Agreed. You must be delighted. How will you celebrate?
It's now starting to drizzle in W Yorkshire after a sunny first half while the sun is now out on the South Coast after a rainy first half.
The Terriers have out shot Leeds by a Baker's dozen to one in the second half, but Leeds scored with their only attempt. Just like the first half on the South Coast
Leeds will move up to 14th with this win, pending results in the 10 AM matches.
Marvelous! We'll be on 19 points with this one. Ahead of schedule now. I didn't expect it at all.
wally in a Brolly shuts up shop as Thauvin is on for Ayoze , the scorer.
Congrats . This will be a great win.
Next, United vs the Baggies is on NBCSN while tyhe Hammers vs the Toffees is on Born in the USA. I may opt for E Street.
Jordan Botaka coming on to replace Stuart Dallas, who had an excellent outing today.
Botaka , signed from dutch club, Excelsior, is on for Stuart Dallas, who had a great match
Dallas looks to be the Leeds representative at the Euros next summer.
Joe Murphy does well to tip over an effort from Jordan Botaka.
Mowatt is lectured by the ref for taking too long at the corner.
Not economical by Adam Smith as he's booked for rugby tackle just outside his box.
The free kick from Thauvin was headed over by Collocini. Federici appeared to tip it over, but a goal kick was given. The Toon's second shot of the match
Steve Evans is the sixth manager in the past 18 months for L:eeds as Cellino faces tax evasion charges. He made 36 managerial changes while he owned Cagliari. Are keeping track, Bob?
Oles from Leeds fans as the players keep possession.
Just about keeping up.
Four minutes of stoppage time.
The Terriers make a mess of a golden chance as Dempsey was put through with just Silvestri to beat, but was too unselfish and played a wayward pass.
Six minutes of stoppage time at Dean Court.
Wahay! It's a stonking 0-3 win for the Leeds boys - I am delighted!
It's over and Congrats to Bob for a great 0-3 win on the short journey to Huddersfield. Well done.
Now it's up to your United to match us - go on, Uniteds!
Kevin Obabu is on for Anita as Wally runs time off the clock.
I sure hope so, nut I'm not counting on it based on the tactics of LVG and Pubis.
The Toon are fortunate to escape with a 0-1 win at Dean Court as thew Toon are out of the drop zone the first time this season while the Cherries are in the drop zone for the first time this season.
I am back from a 3.4 mile walk in 40 minutes
Pretty blustery out there but quite warm
Congrats on the three nil win Robert!!
Hope you can say the same to the other two on this blog
United's line up
De Gea
Young
Smalling
Blind
Rojo
Carrick
Schweinsteiger
Mata
Lingard
Rooney
Martial
Subs: Romero, Borthwick-Jackson, Jones, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Pereira, Memphis
Are Carrick and Schw holding middies?
Is D3.14 ever going to play
Herrara always is the most positive... must be why he's on the bench
Just the Prem and Championship matches today because of the First Round proper of the FA Cup
The Class of 92's lot, Salford City, beat Notts County last night 2-0 and on to Round 2
According to NBC, United BOTTOM of the table of chances created... that says it all LVG!!!
It appears to be two holding middies. I'm not sure why when we're at home to such a defensive side. The stats show that these re two of the top three sides with the FEWEST chances created.It looks like a borefest.
Congratulations on a great giant killing result by Salford City . Well done.Perhaps our United learned from watching them . Sadly, probably not.
I'm back after a refreshing shower. I know that UWS posted the United line-up but here are the teams lining up in the tunnel now:
Man Utd: De Gea, Young, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Mata, Rooney, Lingard, Martial. Subs: Jones, Depay, Romero, Ander Herrera, Schneiderlin, Andreas Pereira, Jackson.
West Brom: Myhill, Dawson, McAuley, Evans, Brunt, Morrison, Yacob, Fletcher, McClean, Sessegnon, Rondon. Subs: Olsson, Chester, Gardner, Lambert, Berahino, McManaman, Lindegaard.
Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)
Welcome back . That's a great time.
Squeaky clean after a great result! UWS beat you to the punch
United coming out
LVG waving... no one is waving to you!!
Someone on WBA refuses to wear a poppy or acknowledge national anthems
As you were mentioning, I don't know why LVG is persisting with two defensive middies today, especially against a side like West Brom who set out their stall away from home for a point. You need fire-power to break down sides like that. It seems like the curse of the Premiership.
MInute silence all around the country for Remembrance Sunday
Mike Dean, the most arrogant official in the Prem along with LVG the most arrogant manager in the Prem. It's not a winning combination.
It is just like all the England talk about holding middies when they were playing Trinidad in WC 10
Only won 1-0
We're off at OT
United get us underway at Old Trafford.
Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack!
They're off from OT and Upton Park
McClean shows the Baggies' intentions from the off there with a XXXX one on Blind. Should have got at least a yellow.
Three nil nillers in a row in the league... haven't had four in 94 years'
Should have been a yellow for the Poppyless Plonker
Mclean definitely not with a clean tackle as he should have been booked for that foul on Blind
I guess Darmian and D3.14 are in LVG's doghouse
Newcastle's goal was there only shot on target
Sounds like another United I know
I hope it's not the first time in 94 years as I would love to see us create chances and break down this cumbersome side.
That was so bad by Young there
Again, United are already starting too slow... it's three minutes in
Just wide by Victor Mose in the battle of Slaven's two former Prem teams.
The Toon had a second chance late on, but otherwise looked like our United.
Happy Birthday to David De Gea. A win would be a nice present.
Another annoying thing about modern football is when the forward sprints back to the ball and lays it back... what's the point if no one runs into the space provided and the ball gets delivered
